Chapter 69 Go quickly and invite the Ancient Buddha Dipankara!
The Arhat who subdued the tiger became furious.
"Senior brother!"
He roared and rode down from the sky on a large, white-browed tiger with piercing eyes.
"Attack together! Slay this scoundrel!"
The remaining sixteen Arhats also realized what was happening. Since magic was useless, they decided to fight hand-to-hand!
The eighteen Arhats cultivated together on Mount Ling for thousands of years, their minds connected. Even without magic, the Arhat formation formed by their physical bodies was unparalleled in the Three Realms.
Seventeen golden rays simultaneously swooped down from the sky.
Like seventeen cannonballs.
Lu Chen sighed.
"I told you I'd knock your teeth out, and you all actually lined up to come down and deliver them."
He took a step forward.
He swung the bamboo broom in his hand in a wide arc.
There are no special moves.
It's just the simplest sweeping action.
This time, however, I wasn't sweeping the floor, I was sweeping my face.
Snapped!
As soon as the Arhat Subduing the Tiger landed, before the tiger could even open its mouth, it was struck in the face with a broom.
The tiger roared and shrunk to the size of a cat, cowering in the corner, trembling. The Tiger-Taming Arhat, his mouth full of blood, spat out three teeth and collapsed next to the Dragon-Subduing Arhat.
Snapped!
The long eyebrows that the Arhat was so proud of were caught by the broom. Lu Chen flicked his wrist, and the man and eyebrows flew away together, his teeth falling to the ground.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
A series of crisp slaps echoed through the valley.
Lu Chen's figure moved among the seventeen Arhats. He walked slowly, and his movements were not flashy.
But every time he swung his broom, a monk would cover his mouth and fall down.
In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.
The eighteen majestic golden Arhats were all lying flat on the open ground outside the courtyard.
They were all clutching their cheeks, writhing on the ground in pain.
Dozens of gleaming gold teeth were scattered on the ground.
Lu Chen stopped moving.
He turned the bamboo broom upside down and rubbed it in the dirt on the ground.
Then he turned around and handed the broom back to Tang Sanzang.
"Here you go. It's a little dusty, but it won't affect your sweeping."
Tang Sanzang put his hands together and accepted the broom.
"Thank you, benefactor. This broom is very easy for me to use."
Seeing this scene, the hundreds of lesser demon cultivators hiding at the base of the wall all gasped in shock.
The deer spirit pinched its own thigh, wincing in pain, to make sure it wasn't dreaming.
Those were the Eighteen Arhats!
A powerful figure whose every step he takes in the sky causes the ground to tremble.
Now, a mere mortal has slapped me across the face with a broom, knocking out all my teeth?
Pigsy swallowed hard and muttered to himself, "Goodness... this is a real slap in the face, in a physical sense."
Lu Chen walked up to the Arhat who subdues dragons.
The Arhat Subduing Dragon covered his face, glaring angrily at Lu Chen. He wanted to speak, but with no front teeth, he could only utter slurred speech.
"You... what kind of monster are you?!"
"I'm a person who follows the rules."
Lu Chen looked down at him.
"I just said, no chanting scriptures."
"You won't listen."
"So this is your punishment."
Lu Chen raised his head and looked at the group of three thousand Jiedi and five hundred Arhats in the sky who were completely terrified.
The clouds were completely silent.
Thousands of monks were crammed together, not daring to even breathe. Even the Eighteen Arhats were knocked over with brooms; they would be sent down to serve as food.
"you."
Lu Chen pointed to the group of people in the sky.
"Who was chanting the loudest just now?"
The people in the sky all took a step back in unison.
They glanced at each other, neither daring to admit it.
"So you're not going to say anything, are you?"
Lu Chen nodded.
"Alright. Since you're already here, don't rush off."
He kicked a gold tooth on the ground.
"When you used that formation to suppress things just now, it damaged a long section of the road outside my valley."
"Your teeth are pretty strong."
"All those thousands of people in the sky, come down here. Pick up the gold teeth on the ground, then go to the riverbank and collect the pebbles."
"Within three days, pave the dirt road leading out of the valley with gravel."
"The gold tooth is embedded in the middle of the road as a zebra crossing."
There was complete silence, both above and below ground.
Why send five hundred Arhats and three thousand Jieti to carry stones to pave the road?
Using the gold teeth of the Eighteen Arhats as zebra crossings?
This isn't just slapping Lingshan in the face; it's tearing off Lingshan's face and stomping on it!
"I can't do that. I'll just grab a broom and knock on them one by one right now," Lu Chen added.
Splash!
The clouds dispersed immediately.
Three thousand Jiedi and five hundred Arhats descended in a rush.
They didn't use any magic; they walked down the mountain.
After landing, they all obediently rolled up their sleeves and trouser legs.
Some people went to pick up the gold teeth on the ground, while others ran to the riverbank outside the valley to move stones.
Thousands of bald heads gleamed in the sunlight, bustling about like a swarm of industrious ants.
This scene can be described as the most absurd and spectacular in the history of the Journey to the West world.
Sun Wukong stood in the courtyard, grinning so hard he almost choked on his own breath.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"Even when Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he never felt this satisfied!"
Tang Sanzang, holding a broom, looked at the group of Arhats working outside and chanted a Buddhist mantra.
Then he lowered his head and continued sweeping his own floor.
……
at this time.
The Western Paradise, the Great Thunder Temple.
The atmosphere in the main hall plummeted to freezing point.
The Buddha sat on the lotus throne, his face extremely grim.
On a golden wall to the left of the main hall, the life-life lamps of the eighteen Arhats are enshrined.
Just now.
Although the eighteen soul lamps did not go out, their flames suddenly shook violently and then dimmed by more than half.
This means that the eighteen Arhats suffered a severe blow.
Moreover, they were all defeated in the short span of an incense stick's time.
Guanyin Bodhisattva stood below, her pure glass bottle trembling slightly.
"Buddha..." Guanyin's voice was deep, "The demon-subduing formation of the Eighteen Arhats has been broken."
"And they...they've been detained by Lu Chen."
The Buddha closed his eyes.
I took a deep breath.
The entire Great Thunderclap Temple seemed to shimmer with Buddhist light.
The Heavenly Court did not send troops.
The eighteen Arhats were detained and forced into hard labor.
Tang Sanzang was sweeping the floor in someone's yard.
This game of chess has led to a dead end that no one expected.
If we send someone else, who should we send?
Send the Four Great Bodhisattvas? If the Four Great Bodhisattvas are also detained, Mount Ling will truly become an empty shell.
Tathagata opens his eyes.
A resolute glint flashed in his golden eyes.
This is no longer a question of whether the journey to the West will go smoothly or not; it's a question of whether Mount Ling can continue to stand firm in the Three Realms.
"Guanyin".
The Buddha spoke. His voice carried a chill that had never been felt in thousands of years.
"Go to the back mountain."
"Open the seal on the Eight Treasures Merit Pool."
Guanyin suddenly raised her head, her face full of shock.
"Buddha! What sleeps in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool is something from the ancient times of our Buddhist sect..."
"Go!" Buddha interrupted her.
"Lu Chen has already become a force to be reckoned with."
"Since conventional methods can't deal with it."
"Then please ask Dipankara Buddha to personally visit Wuwu Manor with all the ancient Buddhas."
The Buddha looked at the sky outside the main hall.
"This is the chessboard of Journey to the West."
"I'm going to overturn it completely."
